Own the Moment. Lead the Charge. Make It Count.

Are you the kind of person who thrives in fast-paced environments, rallies people like a pro, and loves the buzz of live events? We’re looking for a Photography Team Leader to run the show at youth sports tournaments across the country.

This isn’t a behind-the-scenes desk job. You’ll be front and center—leading a high-energy crew, solving problems on the fly, driving serious sales, and making memories for families through our top-tier photography products.

If you're fired up by ownership, leadership, and impact, keep reading. This is your launchpad.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’re the event quarterback, making sure everything runs like clockwork. You'll:

• Lead & motivate a squad of 2–6 energetic Crew Members

• Own the event—from setup to teardown, sales goals to customer happiness

• Engage with families & athletes—upsell, close sales, and deliver amazing experiences

• ️ Oversee photo, print, & fulfillment ops—smooth, speedy, and top-quality

• Solve problems in real time—you’re the calm in the chaos

What Makes You a Perfect Fit

• You've led teams and kept them focused, productive, and positive

• You know sales—and love crushing goals (and earning from them)

• You’re a natural communicator—clear, confident, and customer-first

• You stay cool under pressure and love fast-paced, “figure it out” environments

• You’re weekend-ready (Friday–Sunday availability is a must)

• You have a valid driver’s license and are stoked to travel

What’s In It for You

• Serious earning potential – Base pay + up to 4% of event revenue = $700–$1,000+/event

• Career growth – Develop leadership, sales, and logistics skills that open future doors

• Travel perks – Get paid to explore and work at major youth sports tournaments nationwide

• Creative vibes – Work in a visual, high-impact industry

• 401k match – Yeah, we’ve got long-term benefits too
